I read your story, which describes my (our) current phase of life. I saw no ‘Like’ button, and some little TSA agent demanded ID, just to comment.
Could you (easily) describe how to anchor a link in a comment on someone else’s site, as you’ve done here? I’m not terribly user-friendly. 😳

It’s a Philosophy bar, rather than a sports bar. Rene Descartes regularly stops in to spend a quiet afternoon reading. One day the bartender asked him if he’d like another brandy. Rene said, “I think not.”,….and promptly disappeared. 😉 😯

He thought his reflection is a chimpanzee! Too funny, and a reminder of all those times we try to insult someone only to realize we’re also insulting ourselves for doing similar things. Works on both levels for me. 🙂

But there are people, and times, when they deserve a bit of eye-opening insult. As a child I often heard, “When you point a finger at me, there are three pointed back at you.” and I thought, “Yeah. It means there are three of us who think you’re an asshole.” 😳

Thanx. Not really ‘bullied’ as a child, I was still often the odd man out. I learned to make the jokes before others did, to take the sharp, mean edge off. I’m currently assembling an A to Z Challenge about Levity, explaining ‘My Life Through Comedy.’ 😉 😆
